$5.35M Verdict for CRPS After Rear-End Collision

$5.35 million verdict awarded to a 44-year-old Staten Island mechanic who, following a rear-end collision, initially sustained torn ligaments in his left wrist, but following complaints of severe wrist pain more than a month later was diagnosed as suffering “reflex sympathetic dystrophy,” also known as “chronic regional pain syndrome,” a neurological condition that involves severe, chronological pain. This can result in a “burning” pain, as well as excessive sweating, the swelling of tissue, as well as sensitivity issues and more. The disorder rapidly progressed to an advanced stage, leaving the plaintiff’s left arm swollen and disfigured and his left shoulder frozen. The RSD then jumped/spread to his lower left leg. Medical treatment, including injections, nerve blocks, and a cervical spinal cord stimulator failed to reduce the pain and left the plaintiff wheelchair-bound.
